Bel Colle Barolo Monvigliero D.O.C.G. is garnet red with full and long lasting aromas of floral and citrus, with a hint of space. The taste is dry, but full and velvety in melodic harmony.

James Suckling (91 Points):
"Some complexity to the nose with red berries, walnuts and dried-flower notes. Loses some of the interest on the fluid, medium-bodied palate, but there is still some intensity and focus. The tannins play a minor role. Try from 2023."

Wine Enthusiast (90 Points):
“This opens with aromas of cedar, mocha and baked plum. The ripe palate offers blackberry jam, tobacco and toasted hazelnut alongside close-grained tannins. Drink 2024-2030.”

This notable winery came to be by three brothers in 1977, who established Bel Colle in Verduno, on the northwest edge of the Barolo DOCG. It was purchased in 2015 by Luca Bosio, an innovative young winemaker in Piedmont representing the third generation of his winemaking family. Luca seized the opportunity to work with such a prestigious property, which is known for producing single vineyard Barolo and Barbersco wines noted for their delicate, elegant, spicy and floral character.

Examples of outstanding single vineyard wines include the Barolo Monvigliero DOCG, which is grown in one of the best areas of Verduno with an average vine age of 50-years-old, producing a harmonious and complex wine. The Barbaresco Pajorè comes from a highly recognized 2.5 acre, south-facing single vineyard in the village of Barbaresco, creating a delicate, elegant wine.

It is widely known that Italy is home to the most indigenous varieties of grapes in the world. Bel Colle Winery honors that heritage and includes a separate, small vineyard planted to Pelaverga, a variety that is nearly extinct. The winery does indeed make a highly coveted wine from it, but in miniscule quantities.
